MAS Context : Analog Chicago

Please join us on Saturday, October 13th, 2012, to enjoy the second edition of MAS Context : Analog, our one-day event of presentations, exhibitions and an onsite bookstore in Chicago. The event is organized along with NEW PROJECTS.

MAS Context : Analog will gather a group of emerging and established practitioners within the field of design who will discuss their work based on proposed themes. The event will include presentations by artists, academics, architects, urban designers, graphic designers and industrial designers.

The event also includes “Architectural Narratives,” an exhibition of the work of Jimenez Lai and Klaus, and an onsite bookstore by Half Letter Press, a publishing imprint and an experimental online store initiated by Temporary Services.

The presentations will be followed by a closing party that will include a DJ set by Dieter Roelstraete.

(Schedule may change as we approach the event. Check back for the final lineup.)
